An exceptionally clean UP CA-9 caboose takes up the rear of an eastbound UP train. This caboose must have received new paint in late 1976 or early 1977 as there is a picture on this site (no. 107034) that shows this caboose at Barstow, CA and it looks quite grubby.
Have you ever watched cabooses, enjoyed their uniqueness, wondered about the men inside, or the jobs they do? Once an everyday sight on the rails, they have decreased in numbers, yet they are a very important part of railroad history.
